Ever wondered what was behind the façade of a beautiful yet derelict building ? Ever asked permission to have a peek and been turned down ? That's where Urban Explorers come in.... Recording through photographs the art, decay and progress of nature reclaiming what was once clean and tidy. This illustrated talk will show some amazing sites on-screen and explain why this rather bizarre (slightly illegal) hobby is of great importance to those who consider real heritage is always worth recording before it is gone.
ELHS member, local historian and popular entertaining public speaker Alan Wenham returns, with an illustrated talk and account of all the gaffes and disasters as Eastbourne developed, but never made their way into the public books.
ELHS Hon Secretary Warwick Davis will present an illustrated talk on Beachy Head, without mentioning the light houses once. Warwick is a member of the Beachy Head Ambassadors and Eastbourne Downland Group delegate for BHA and also ELHS. Warwick has a passion for this area close to our town.
